Frank Lloyd Wright
Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth.

Frank Lloyd Wright
Human beings can be beautiful. If they are not beautiful it is entirely their own fault. It is what they do to themselves that makes them ugly. The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Why should architecture or objects of art in the machine age, just because they are made by machines, have to resemble machinery?
Frank Lloyd Wright
Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
Frank Lloyd Wright
From time to time the continent shifts, and everything that isn't fastened down slides into Southern California.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Harvard takes perfectly good plums as students, and turns them into prunes.
